A candidate in the general election says we must beware of economic 'fallacies' used to paint an optimistic picture.
Nigel Dobson will contest the constituency of Garff on 22 September.
The 63-year-old, who works in hospitality, is standing independently this time - having previously represented the LibVan party.
